DisguisedToast slams claims that Facebook streaming punishes fans Facebook Gaming\u2019s flagship signing Jeremy \u2018Disguised Toast\u2019 Wang has rubbished claims his move from Twitch to the social media giant shows he doesn\u2019t care about his loyal fanbase. Disguised Toast announced his choice to host livestreams exclusively on Facebook on November 22, becoming another star in the long chain of Twitch personalities making a mass exodus away from Amazon\u2019s broadcasting website in recent times. Now, the 28-year-old has hit back at comments suggesting he was selfish in his choice to take Facebook\u2019s offer, responding to former League of Legends pro Mike \u2018Wickd\u2019 Petersen\u2019s suggestion he was punishing his loyal audience. \u201cPerhaps unpopular opinion, but I think if you go from being a Twitch streamer to a Facebook streamer, it shows that you don\u2019t give a shit about your audience,\u201d Wickd said. \u201cFacebook in its current form is terrible for streaming.\u201d Perhaps unpopular opinion, but I think if you go from being a twitch streamer to a facebook streamer. It shows that you don’t give a shit about your audience. Facebook in it’s current form is terrible for streaming. \u2014 Wickd (@Wickdlol) November 22, 2019 Toast originally announced a major part of his choice to move to Facebook over other rival platforms like Mixer and YouTube was because of the website\u2019s willingness to support his philanthropic endeavors, including raising money for the St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital and the Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles. Considering that choice, and the fact that Wang has always tried to connect with his long-standing fans as best he can since accidentally revealing the man behind the toast mask, he clearly resented Wickd\u2019s suggestion. \u201c\u2018unPoPulAr oPinion,\u2019 proceeds to give a popular opinion\u2026 f*ck off,\u201d Wang lashed out. \u201cMy audience isn\u2019t just my Twitch viewers, it\u2019s YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and more. I have more time to focus on content besides streaming while helping improve a new platform. Don\u2019t say I don\u2019t give a sh*t about my audience.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/DisguisedToast\/status\/1201306027913728000 The streaming star also accepted that Facebook was still an emerging streaming platform, and revealed that he was hard at work trying to make it a better place for his fans with new features like shortening names, and dark mode. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely UI issues and improvements that can be made,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve escalated these issues to Facebook already, such as dark mode and not having full name displayed at all times. The platform can use some work and we\u2019re going to try and improve it.\u201d Not everyone thinks Wang\u2019s platform switch is a bad thing either, with fellow OfflineTV member Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys suggesting Toast\u2019s move to Facebook could be a positive for both parties moving forward. \u201cFacebook Gaming, in general, isn\u2019t that developed,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut I think he\u2019s not only a great streamer, but he\u2019s a very smart businessman. So he\u2019ll be able to help them make changes that\u2019ll make their live streaming better.\u201d No matter whether or not Disguised Toast\u2019s change is a positive one for him personally, and for his long standing fans, it marks another chapter in the ongoing streaming wars that have seen many stars join the exodus from Amazon\u2019s Twitch. With Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek leading the charge to Mixer, while Jack \u2018Courage\u2019 Dunlop chose YouTube as his next destination, there\u2019s plenty of stars on the move, and fans are keeping their eyes peeled for the next big switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
